What separates Plantation Grindz from other restaurants in Maui?

To find out why you should leave the fast food drive-thru for the birds, check out these locally-inspired plates available at Plantation Grindz:

• Plate Lunch: Trace the roots of the Hawaiian plate lunch all the way back to its roots and discover the Japanese bento box. Introduced to Hawaii in the 1880s by plantation workers, the bento box became the plate lunch, including macaroni salad, rice and a meat.
• Loco Moco: Whether you're a Hawaiian native or a tourist from the mainland, you don't know what you've been missing if you haven't tried this famous dish. An integral part of Hawaiian local food, the loco moco at Plantation Grindz usually comes with white rice topped with a hamburger steak, fried egg, and gravy.

While you can have Spam almost any way you like it at Plantation Grindz, the Spam & eggs breakfast definitely hits the spot, filling you up until you're ready to roll back to this local gem for lunch.
